Spain: Sánchez pushes for housing decree and 2027 budget support
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is pressuring parliamentary groups to support a pending housing decree, citing the recent eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid as a 'social tragedy' that could have been prevented. Speaking from New York ahead of the UN General Assembly, Sánchez emphasized that the measures are intended to combat social injustice rather than serve political interests. He has not yet set a specific date for presenting the decree to the Council of Ministers due to a lack of guaranteed support from various political factions.
Simultaneously, the Spanish government has initiated negotiations with parliamentary partners to secure approval for the 2027 General State Budget. The government aims to present the project before the end of the year. Key political allies, including Sumar, are pushing for expansive measures focused on housing access and universal child-rearing benefits. Meanwhile, parties such as the PNV and BNG have indicated that support is contingent on the government's ability to negotiate effectively and fulfill specific regional commitments.
